The George Water Supply is recommending to use of bottled water or an alternative source for drinking or cooking after the area has experienced flooding in the water plant and cannot be disinfected. Due to the higher level of nitrate in the source water, and the potential for bacterial contamination, it is being recommended that bottled water or an alternative source be used for drinking and cooking.The Rock Rapids Municipal Water Department and Lyon & Sioux Rural Water recommend residents use bottled water or an alternative source for drinking and cooking water, within 10 miles of Rock Rapids after being affected by the recent floodings. This recommendation is due to potential contamination by bacteria.
When the system resumes normal operations, bacteria samples will be collected. This advisory is a precaution until bacterial sample results are available. You will be notified when the results are available and the advisory is lifted.
The George Water Supply system is working with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to resolve the situation.
